wow
so, until the fisherman are allowed to fish the gulf again next year, you believe everything is ok? When their nets come-up empty or EPA testing shows high levels of toxins in gulf caught sealife, you'll concede and let everyone regress into sadness?
So, how well recieved do you think your argument would be to T-Boy in Grand Isle who's about to lose his boat and has done nothing else in his life to support his family?
You head-in-the-sad approach is fricking stupid. This isn't a religious debate, fact is the Gulf is being polluted with crude and toxic dispersants. Idiotic position you take.

Well just took another look and yep there is still thousands of crabs, shrimp, and bait fish trying to avoid getting eaten by the thousands of lemon, red, jacks and bonita fish and this is just right around my platform so I thinks its safe to say as of today the world is not over. So put your head back in your arse and STFU, when all the fish are dying or dead then come find me.

1980 over 140 million gal spilled in the gulf from the IXTOC 1 well, flowed for over a year. Guess what the gulf survived.

Here is a little info for all you end of the world idiots, if yall were right then pretty much every ocean in the world would be void of life.

I wasnt wasnt aware that fishing was closed in the GOM unitl next year.
As a matter of fact, the Federal Closure was lifted this morning, so technically if fisherman wanted to go fishing in the Gulf they can go TODAY. There is still quite a bit of area that is still open. Facts

I have spoken to many fisherman, and most are working the spill right now making pretty good money....dont believe what you see on TV. The others are just doing what they have to do, until they get the all clear as most of the closers are for precautionary measures.

Thanks, just because I'm not saying it the end of the world and life is over as we know I'm an idiot?? Nice.
Do you know how to read a map? I'm going to post this again for you. Look at the areas that have been effected. All I am saying is that we are lucky we dont see more red and orange. Not a lot a direct oil impact when you're looking at the big picture.

ETA: Let me be clear, I am not saying that everything IS okay, I realize what the potential effects COULD BE and i understand there are people scared because of the uncertainty. What I am saying is to relax and lets wait and see. I believe everything will be okay, I am am true believer that things are never as bad as they seem. Have a little faith.

tigerbaitn08 at first I was frustrated with your approach & suspicious with your affiliation. But at least it's different & gives this place some diversity.

For the record, I do not work for BP, I don't have any family that works for BP and I have no loyalty to BP. I am in the marine trnasportation business in which we do work in the same field BP is not one of my direct clients. I have nothing to gain or lose from BP by staying positive. I do however realize what I could lose if the tides start turning(pun intended) but for now we should remain calm and just continue to watch this situation close but don't get caught up in all the doom and gloom hype.

The problem with the OP is that it sets up a false dichotomy: panic/complain or "hope for the best."
I think people can do both AND then go do what they can to help. I volunteered and I'm reducing my petroleum use. May be merely symbolic, but it helps ease the helplessness.

Nice investigative work there Boss. The EPA could benefit from a roustabouts visual of THOUSANDS of sea creatures swimming off a platform. I mean, REALLY?!
Keep typing, it's rich.
Your contention is no less flawed than the moronic angle of the TA.

The dispursants are sinking a large portion of it. I also think the beachgoers are lucky to this point, but those depending on whats beneath the surface are likely not to be so. The maps don't show that.
I truly hope we are all Chicken Littles, but this isn't a David Copperfield show.......double the amount of the Valdez has been spewed and while a small percentage has been accounted for in various ways (including biodegradation), it absolutley has to go somewhere. And, where it goes, will absolutely be poisoned.

You're correct, the dispersants are keeping a large portion of it under the surface breaking it down then letting the bacteria of the ocean dregrad it to nothing.

No it doesnt, after it is consumed by mother nature there is nothing left to go anywhere.
Check out this website and learn about the water sampling the EPA is doing. This may help you understand how dispersants work. There is a lot of info on here so I expect you to open your mind a little.

the point is, the % of oil that has hit our coast up until this point is very minimal compared to the amount that has gushed out. Also, the impact is also very minimal compared to how bad it could be. Most of the closures are due to precautionary measures. This is nothing compared to what the media and doom and gloomers are making it out to be. Yes, fishing and seafood may be done for this summer, as well as tourism to our coast and Gulf Coast beaches, and maybe even a year or two before the DHH clears our seafood, but come on man, as of right now, in the grand scheme of things we have a lot to be thankful for.

We are missing a common point. My fears center around the bottom of the food chain that ulimately fuels those close to the coast. The lower food chains originate on the floor at the bottom of the cont shelf......where oil is likely to collect.

I see where you're coming from in that aspect. However, it will be years before we would know impact as to what your concern is.

The ocean is polluted with an oil gusher no one sure when it will end. The oil has to go somewhere. If you don't believe me then fill your bath tub up and sit in it. Then pour a quarter cup of oil in the water in one place and watch what happens.

Did you happen to read the two post under the one you quoted? or look at the link I posted? guessing not. But thats right you dont need to your a fricking genius who is a PETE and a marine bio all rolled into one. Ive given clear evidence on why people need to stop being so fricking hysterical but yes im just some dumb college student who is a operator on a platform, yep you caught me.
That well pumped for OVER A YEAR AND GUESS WHAT THE AREA IS FINE. So please come up with some type of evidence besides your own stupidity to prove me other wise of why everyone should calm down.
